1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device on a W4 Communication Network (W4 COMN), a request from a requesting user for consumption data relating to a media object, the request comprising an identification of the media object, said consumption data corresponding to rendering patterns of the media object by users on the network;
automatically searching, via the W4 COMN computing device, a plurality of data sources on the network for said consumption data based on said request, said searching comprising searching for spatial data, temporal data, topical data and social data associated with the media object by implementing a global index of data available to the network, said global index comprising a global graph that automatically interrelates, via the W4 COMN computing device, entities known to the network with one another based on spatial data, temporal data, topical data and social data of consumption events of each entity;
retrieving, via the W4 COMN computing device in response to said search, said spatial data, temporal data, topical data and social data related to said consumption data of the media object, said retrieved spatial data, temporal data, topical data and social data each comprising information associated with the rendering patterns of the media object on the W4 COMN;
identifying, via the W4 COMN, at least one other media object based, at least in part, on the retrieved spatial data, temporal data, topical data and social data; and
transmitting, the W4 COMN computing device, the spatial data, temporal data, topical data, and social data available to the W4 COMN relating to consumption of the media object to the requesting user, said transmission further comprising information associated with said identified other media object.

Abstract
A system and method for reporting and analysis of media consumption data. A request is received over a network from a requesting user for consumption data relating to at least one media object, the request comprising an identification of the media objects. Spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to consumption of the media object are retrieved using a global index of data available to the network. The spatial, temporal, topical, and social data available to the network relating to consumption of the media objects are transmitted, over the network to the requesting user.
